Gas exchange between soil and atmosphere represents a major component of global
greenhouse gas fluxes. Chamber methods and micro-meteorological methods are well …

Tropical forests play a major role in regulating global carbon (C) fluxes and stocks, and even
small changes to C cycling in this productive biome could dramatically affect atmospheric …

Organic matter decomposition and soil CO 2 efflux are both mediated by soil
microorganisms, but the potential effects of temporal variations in microbial community …

Though seasonally dry tropical forests are equally as important to global biodiversity as
tropical rainforests, and are one of the most representative and highly endangered …

Climate models predict precipitation changes for much of the humid tropics, yet few studies
have investigated the potential consequences of drought on soil carbon (C) cycling in this …

Two-year continuous pH, conductivity, temperature and water stage of the two typical
epikarst springs, Nongla spring and Maolan spring (about 200km apart) in subtropical karst …

The carbon balance of tropical peatlands was investigated using measurements of gaseous
fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4) at several land-use types, including …

This study investigated the spatial and temporal variation in soil carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux
and its relationship with soil temperature, soil moisture and rainfall in a forest near Manaus …

We examined the relationship between soil respiration rate and environmental determinants
in three types of tropical forest ecosystem—primary forest, secondary forest, and an oil palm …

In an old‐growth tropical wet forest at La Selva, Costa Rica, we combined radiocarbon (14C)
dating and tree‐ring analysis to estimate the ages of large trees of canopy and emergent …
